Sold at eekbay Thanks all. If you're dreaming of a very subtle soft focus lens for distinctive signature portraits and pictorial work this little lens is a serious contender. It is a simple meniscus of 11 1/2" 292mm focus cobbled onto an Ilex #3 shutter. It's an f9 lens wide open so the softness is subtle and increases as you move out from the center. Superb for portraits. Last image is an example recently done on full plate, 6585. Covers nicely. No good for color. Non achromatic so it would color fringe. Looking for $195 for this. Talk to me.
